Hey . I have a little problem to boot winxp(sp2) . I use grub
Linux are on the first harddrive that is hdc and winxp(sp2) is on hdd.
Both harddriver have mbr because when I install winxp I plug out the linux hdd (winxp complain about to many partion on the first hdd)
(sry for my english)

my config :
Code:
 GNU nano 1.3.2 File: /boot/grub/grub.conf

# Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
default 0
# How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted.
timeout 30
# Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up
# Comment out if you don't have a graphics card installed
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.26-r6
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hdc3 vga=791

# The next three lines are only if you dualboot with a Windows system.
# In this case, Windows is hosted on /dev/hda6.
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

I wasn't able to understand everything :)

But if windows is installed on the second drive, I would use

Code:

title=Windows XP
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


So you can trick windows and windows believes that the second partition is the master partition.
